Key result
Sevoflurane anesthesia resulted in a greater TOF ratio at the end of surgery and reduced supplemental rocuronium requirements compared to propofol in pediatric patients.
Why the study?
Does sevoflurane-based anesthesia compared to propofol-based anesthesia improve recovery from rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in pediatric patients?
RCT (n=50)
Randomly allocated
No
Does sevoflurane-based anesthesia compared to propofol-based anesthesia improve recovery from rocuronium-induced neuromuscular blockade in pediatric patients?
Sevoflurane anesthesia reduces rocuronium requirements and allows for faster recovery of neuromuscular function compared to propofol in pediatric patients.

Kang et al. (2005) conducted an RCT in Pediatric patients requiring general anesthesia and neuromuscular blockade (n=50). Sevoflurane vs. Propofol was evaluated on TOF ratio at the end of surgery (p=<0.05). Sevoflurane anesthesia resulted in a greater TOF ratio at the end of surgery and reduced supplemental rocuronium requirements compared to propofol in pediatric patients.
